If you’d like to know more after you’ve read this chapter, I suggest visiting the websites for DNS (www.rehabps.com) and the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) (www.posturalrestoration.com), the two leading exponents of what I’m talking about here.

The Gmax also has a role in stabilizing the SIJs and has been described as one of the force closure muscles. Some of the Gmax fibers attach to the sacrotuberous ligament and the thoracolumbar fascia, which is a very strong, non-contractile connective tissue that is tensioned by the activation of muscles connecting to it. One of the connections to t

“The most direct route to elite grip strength is IronMind’s Captains of Crush Grippers [which are available up to 365-pound resistance].

A standing forward fold, by any name, is a static stretch, and all stretching is a tensile force applied to a myofascial unit. It should be noted that as tensile force is applied to tissues, they creep. Creep is the biomechanical term for the deformation of viscoelastic tissues. Once the tensile force is removed, tissues then recover and return to

The ratio of cortical to spongy bone is dependent upon the stresses applied to the bone: Bones that are exposed to high bending forces, such as the metatarsals of your forefoot, are made almost exclusively of cortical bone (A). In contrast, bones that absorb shock, such as your calcaneus (B), are made primarily of soft spongy bone, which allows the

the key to be strategically strong and resilient is managing the various exercise stressors so that they don’t trigger signallers to tell the brain to stop or slow down.
